You mean Skywind. Skyblivion is the project that recreates Oblivion in Skyrim's engine.
Right.  My bad.

I just played a DDLC mod where you can try for a slightly happier ending than the official version.  Even though I'm mostly inured, it still really freaked me out in a couple places.  However, I finally got that satisfying ending I craved.

I highly recommend this game. Please let me know if you redeem it.

Every key I post here comes from Humble Bundle, not some shady third party seller.

Dug up an old one that's been on my machine a while, but for some reason I've never gotten around to it: The Stanley Parable.

Loving it.  Similar sense of humor as the Portal games, with fewer (but not zero) opportunities to plummet to your death.

I have a really bad habit of buying games on sale and then forgetting about them for extended periods...

Aww yiss!  Time to rock and roll timespace!

My brother got this game and loved it.  I found it pretty intriguing but watched it instead of playing it.  Time to save and/or ruin everyone's lives!

The ultimate decision will be yours: Bay or Bae. There's also a prequel out called Before the Storm, but I don't have an extra key for that one. Let me how your adventure goes.

Life is Strange is an awesome game with a rollercoaster of emotions. The time travelling mechanic was really cool too. But, IMO, Before the Storm is just a melodramatic mess, with awkward character movements that don't always match the dialogue, characters with dead fish eyes (particularly Rachel's dad), and a poorly thought out talk-back mechanic. It doesn't explain much we didn't already know, and it ends with [spoiler]us being reminded that Rachel dies after all that drama anyway.[/spoiler] It was made by a separate company while the original creators work on the sequel, and it shows. BtS feels like a side project.

Bae all the way.  Crapsack towns come and go, but true love is once in a lifetime.

Plus, the town is filled with assholes anyway, so it's two birds.

Retrogaming is the thing this frigid month, at least for me.  Dug out the ol' PS2 and my Katamari Damacy/We ♥ Katamari disks and spent several hours immersed in digital Japanese LSD.

I better get my PC set up again.  I've missed games.

I tried it.  Nearly impossible to move or hold a perspective.  Couldn't discover the point of the game, though it was brief.

If you don't like keyboard and mouse controls, I believe it has controller support. Most PC games have controller support these days. It just has to have a USB end to plug it in to your computer. Also, Life is Strange is episodic, so if you thought it was brief, you may just need to move on to the next episode.

Well, I ment that I understood so goals (looking at pencils, notebooks, etc, and I understood the WASD keyboard controls, but I just could get to anywhere I needed to.  My 2 button mouse hardly did anything.It was quite frustrating.

I'm used to a screen cursor going to where I move it.

Looking at things such as notes sometimes give clues or new dialogue options, but most of it can be skipped if you don't feel like examining them. Life is Strange is really a game where you're meant to take your time and immerse yourself in it. It's not like most games where you just mindlessly run around and kill things. As for the camera, yeah it doesn't have free range of motion. That's pretty standard for the genre.

Just replayed Fallout: New Vegas again, 70 hours or so to beat this time, still the best modern fallout game imo, far better than fallout 4 (aka Bethesda Minecraft)
